Slim Fast Shakes?


Question:
For breakfast I currently have 2 pieces of toast with low fat peanut butter and sugar free grape jelly. Would replacing that with a Slim Fast shake have any effect? Do you have any opinions or experiences to share about Slim Fast products?

Answers:
My wife tried them for awhile. Then she read the ingredients. You'd have to have a Chemistry degree to understand it. She decided to try something else that she could understand what was in it.

Made sense to me, if you don't know what's in it, don't eat it.

Other Answers:
slim fast is good the shakes are good too they have a lot of vitamins in it so you dont need it only for weight lose. you can replace it for a meal.

ensure is better tasting than slim fast.

pure liquid diet is bad for the GI tract, sometimes it lessens its peristalsis because of lack of solids (i think).

stick to your diet but add multivitamins since those people trying to lose weight do lack a lot of nutrients.

I used it, they taste pretty good as long as thier COLD..I'm not sure they would do better than what you're currently eating, but they also make you gassy..YUCK. On the other side of the coin, I did lose some weight.

I dont know but I think it doesnt takes that good and plus that when you'll stop taking it. It will make you gain some extra pouns.

My gardener and his wife both got hernias from eating those slim fast shakes.

I know people who go on them and use other desperate attempts but you will always put it back on because it is cheating. The ONLY way is exercise and eating well (not lots just nice fresh wholesome foods).

add the calories and fat and other nutritional values that you are currently eating in your toast and compare to slim fast. i've used slim fast and, while it's a great quickie substitute, it's better for your lifestyle to figure a light meal that gives you the same nutritional value. you aren't going to want to use slim fast forever and when you start eating food again, you need to keep the calorie, fat, etc. intake the same or you just wasted months of your money on the shakes. i found a link through better homes and gardens that gives a basic calorie counting chart. check it out and good luck!!

I've used slimfast before. It's very filling and tastes good. As far as its nutritional value goes, I have no idea. :)

It's all in your mind, if you think it will work for you then you will lose some pounds. Mind over matter, the power of suggestion.

not knowing if it was actually the slim fast or something eaten earlier, but i got really bad stomach cramps after drinking one.hmmmm

Try Diet Coke and low fat milk shakes. The toast that you take, should be wholemeal btread and not white bread because white bread is fattening.Cut off sugar if you can because the bread and other foods are converted to sugar after digestion, so dont worry about no direct sugar intake. Please be informed that excess sugar in the body is converted to fat, and your efforts of taking low fat peanut butter and etc will defeat its purpose if direct sugar or sweet drinks are taken during a meal.Happy slimming.
